"We need the OP to fill in some blanks." That would help but probably wouldn't get to a definitive answer.
Interestingly, a quick survey of the last 3 pages reveals at least 10 different jx, not counting the OP's jurisdiction. In many jx, CCR's actually run with the land (are appurtenant) and therefore do not need an active HOA for the CCR's to be an enforceable by anyone governed by the same CCR's. Although much of property law tends to be consistent across a good part of the U.S.A., most jx have extensive statutory and administrative law that governs property and interest communities...so applying experience from other jx won't necessarily provide insight into the OP's situation.
